About the Book

In this debut collection of essays, lists, musings, and quips, Zimmerman delicately walks the fine line between tear-jerking and knee-slapping, and does so with aplomb. Through this memoir-esque exploration of selfhood, Zach unveils the pros and cons of retiring his Bible-Belt-dwelling, meat-eating, God-fearing identity in exchange for a new, metropolitan lease on life – one of vegetarianism, atheism, queerness, and humour, in which he finally finds his truest self. Whether learning to absolve instilled religious guilt or reminiscing over Tinder dates gone horribly wrong, this book is a candid and hysterical snippet of one man’s journey toward making peace with the past and seeking hope in the future, perfect for the bookworm and humour fan in your life.

About the Author :
Zach Zimmerman is a Brooklyn-based comedian and writer named a TimeOut New York Comic to Watch. His essays and humour pieces have been published in The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, The Washington Post, The Independent, and more. Called a 'rising star' by The New York Times and a 'world class comic' by the Chicago Reader, Zach has performed around the world and was a host and staff writer for Scruff’s popular trivia game Hosting. He’s an alum of The Second City Theatricals in Chicago, and his first stand-up album 'Clean Comedy' debuted at #1 on iTunes and the Billboard Top 10.

Review :
One of Barnes Noble's Best Books of 2023 (So Far) "A charming, funny, resoundingly queer collection of bite-sized stories that go down smooth. It's a perfect summer read. You will fall in love with Zach." -- Guy Branum, author of My Life as a Goddess: A Memoir Through (Un)Popular Culture "Like many others, Zimmerman's journey of coming out and coming into his own was full of family turmoil and internal conflict. But the comedian -- a former conservative and Southern Baptist -- infuses hilarity into (nearly) every moment. Whether or not you share a similar background with Zimmerman, the antics and perspectives in this essay collection will leave you laughing." --Scribd "New York-based comedian Zach Zimmerman takes a comical route of making peace with his past and seeking hope for the future in this collection of essays, advice, and musings." --Business Insider One of The 20 Best LGBTQ Books of 2023 (So Far) -- Esquire "Recommended...It's about a whole lot of things, and it's funny, and it's insightful."--NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour "A funny and candid look at [Zimmerman's] journey toward making peace with the past and seeking hope in the future."--PureWow "Zimmerman pinpoints the emotion of growing up and away from your family's ideals while still holding love for its members... refreshingly funny...Fans of stand-up and lighthearted essays will appreciate Zimmerman's sensical absurdity."--Kirkus Reviews "Guaranteed to highlight their signature hilarious, honest, and endearing voice. Featuring essays on vegetarianism, atheism, and queerness, we can't wait to get our hands on this first--person account of growing up queer, funny, and (famously) very tall."--Queerty "A deeply satisfying blend of humor and heart. The pitch-perfect satire pieces are an ideal companion to the essays. This is the type of book you'll want to share with all your friends." --Ginny Hogan, author of I'm More Dateable than a Plate of Refried Beans "Cheeky...poignant...Zimmerman's good humor makes this slice of modern life a charmer." --Publishers Weekly "Funny, provocative, touching, honest, and original. We're all already in Hell but I'm so glad Zach is here with us. Zach writes as easily about the Olive Garden extended menu as he does about heartbreak and religion. I felt so seen and I laughed so hard." --Blythe Roberson, author of How to Date Men When You Hate Men "I simply must share that it IS hot in here baby!!! Zach speaks to the soul like a friend's shaky whisper in the middle of mass-- maybe you're not supposed to laugh, but that just makes it funnier." --Cat Cohen "Zach Zimmerman has written a warmly engaging memoir in the guise of stand-up comedy: a bittersweet sort of humor, droll and self-aware, painfully yet funnily candid, a voice of disarming frankness and intimacy." -- Joyce Carol Oates "Zach Zimmerman is one of the funniest, most nimble young comics working today and this book more than delivers on the enormous promise of Zach's talent. Insightful, wise, and laugh-out-loud hilarious, Is It Hot In Here has no right being as good as it is. I loved this book." -- R. Eric Thomas, national bestselling author of Here for It, or How to Save Your Soul in America "Zach's book is just like Zach: sharp, funny, generous, surprisingly insightful (no offense), and I kind of have a crush on it." -- Karen Chee, writer Late Night with Seth Meyers
